Avidemux Forum

Meanwhile the programs which were causing trouble do not show the issue anylonger.

deux ans et demi plus tard, toujours pas là... Ça c'est de la rapidité de développement ou je ne m'y connait pas. 🤣🤣🤣

Firstly, I love how light and responsive avidemux is and am eager to learn what its running under the hood. 

I tried aviremux in response to shotcut (22.12.21) failing to perform a particular task. In fairness, later versions rectified this, but I am using Win7 on a laptop, and that was the last usable version for Win7.

The task is to re-encode a 1920x1024 video down to 404x720 rectangle (or thereabouts) for mobile screens while panning (transforming) that rectangle to follow the action. I don't want to scale the video down, but to crop the video to the new dimensions. In shotcut, this required keyframes.

I understand aviredux does not do keyframes, but it will crop to the smaller dimension. Is it possible to add keyframe capability... without rewriting the framework?

I noticed there is a "scripting shell" and "custom" option in the toolbar. Have not read up on it yet. Perhaps there is a solution there? Since I've plotted keyframes in Shotcut, I can note their timestamps and add them to a textfile and/or hardcode the rectangular X/Y position into a script. I can also create a programmable function to ease-in/out of keyframes so panning (moving the rectangle) is smooth.

Thanks!

The problem is that while post-processing defaults to off, Avidemux respects whatever setting is stored in the Avidemux profile, thus obsolete legacy versions keep to screw up users of current developer builds. Will rename the relevant preferences to set an end to that.

Also, the latest version of Avidemux (2.8.2) is available below. The settings szlldm mentioned should be disabled by default if using a current version.

Make sure that in Edit / Preferences / Post-Processing all the checkboxes are unchecked.

Videos encoded by Avidemux have lower quality than videos encoded by the HandBrake app.

Even videos encoded with the Huffyuv codec have lower quality than videos encoded by the HandBrake app.

Is there a way to improve the quality of videos encoded by Avidemux?

Thank you.

Hello I new here and am using this program to capture or try to capture "Stills" from videos/movies (All formats MPEG MP4 MOV etc) and click with mouse or key and save image clips. Can someone let me know how this is down by key stroke or with the mouse please ?

Thank you.
